Risss

Have you seen the ad on Channel 8 about the new variety show "Black Rose" that would be airing next Tuesday onwards at 8pm? Click here.

Haha, brother and I can't help laughing 'coz the hosts imitate the roles so well, of course, including the oh-so-hilarious Risss Low. (Yes, triple S, lol)

Anyway, and so, last night I was watching TV with my brother. We were talking about school stuff and I blurted,

"Prin-SHER-per"

when I was suppose to say "Principal".

Total accident.

And then he laughed,

"Wah, you are Ris Hap."

0.0

Speechless. And madly funny.

mini post: to mz

HEHE,

this post is dedicated to mz due to her guest appearance on my tag board.

pst pst, mz, my kids tell me that you're very pretty (coz they popped over to your blog. ha, you're getting new followers it seems...). Kakaka...

So there, be a teacher, you'll be idolized. Trust me on that! :P

Class Tee

Hi all,

I must say it was quite an experience buying the class tee with you guys. 10 of us squeezing in the small shop for a couple of hours deciding on colour, design then calling up the rest of the class to confirm their orders... and us pooling our money for the deposit of the Class Tee...

Amazing.

Aren't you looking forward to getting it on 5 March 2010?

Mark it down on your calendar (meaning, don't fall sick on that day), coz you'll be getting our very proud 2-4 production!!

And we'll be wearing it during the cohort camp!

Wooo Hooooo~~~

The gifts - photos & misc



Aik Ming is concerned that I didn't post up the pix of the gifts they got me on my b'day. heehee. sorry dear, i've been so busy that i didn't 1) have time to blog; 2) bring a decent camera to take the pictures of my stuff...

And so I took the pix last Friday using my lousy cam phone...



From Frannie... Tiger with lotsa love~~

From Aik Ming... Pink (love!) strap that is now hanging on my hp

More random stuff...

CNY holidays is gone in a flash... I'm happy that 2-4 won 2nd in Notice board Competition and Syarafina got 1st in the Ang Bao competition!

Though we had been really 'tormented' by the Tigger... I was glad that it brought us the glory!




See, as long as efforts are put in, they will be recognised! Thank you to those who have helped to put the notice board together, staying back to paint / decorate and putting ideas together to make this happen...

Last of all... Can't help but to post this... A little excerpt from Vernon's shou ji...



This has never failed to cheer me up... My little ones in 2-4 has never fail to touch me time and again... (:

The Birthday Celebration

I can't tell you how touched I am by 2-4.

Although I've taught most of you in Sec 1 (except the Malay students and 5 new members), I never expected something so grand from you guys. After all, I can be quite a tyrant and a meanie at times. :P

2-4 is rushing me to post about Monday asap but I've been so busy lately, meeting friends and all. Hehe... So, here's one post, w/o pictures.

Boys and girls, send me the pictures!!! Find me to get my private email address (not my msn email add) coz I want to keep the pictures too!

Anyway, Monday, 8/2, was just another ordinary workday for me. And I looked very blue - coz of my clothes (which some claim that I look as if I was run over by a car and the car wheel marks are left all over me. T_T)

When I first entered 2-4, they asked if I would stay back after school and I said I couldn't due to a meeting. The girls' looks gave them away, coz I felt some sort of anticipation through their eyes. :P

Didn't think much into it until I received a call from Adeline (our chairperson) at 11.20am. I wondered why she was calling me when she was supposed to be in class and the place she was at sounded so noisy... She didn't tell me her whereabouts but told me to go to class earlier (next period is my Chinese class).

I just thought something might be in place, so I went over.

The kids looked so surprised to see me and I was 'chased' out coz apparently, according to Rachael, "the classroom is under construction". ?!?!

Then I stood outside and waited. Soon, I saw the relief teacher walking out with a queer smile. Stepping into the class that day was different. The kids looked excited and I was given a huge surprise...

The entire whiteboard was filled with birthday greetings - in Chinese, English and Korean... Little drawings, close to heart well-wishes... and a resounding birthday song came shortly after.

I looked around and realised... some members were missing.

"Where's Adeline?" I asked.

"Don't know." the kids said. Ya rite... They must be up to 'no good'...

And true enough, in a short while, the missing members returned, with a cake in their hands...

I see the smiles, hear the laughs, feel their warmth and my silly tears started welling up in my eyes.

I've never had 31 people celebrating my birthday for me.

Or should I say, I've never really celebrated my birthday. My parents never threw a birthday party for me before and so we only cut a cake or have a meal and that's that. No birthday bashes, no birthday outings...

Touched to the core, I must say.

And so, we sang the birthday song again, with 31 kids huddling around the teacher's desk, candle flames prancing around so prettily and happy faces (and some cameras) filling up the entire space.

Memorable. Ultimately unforgettable.

Then it was the wish-making, candle-blowing, cake-cutting, gifts-presenting and photo-taking.

We had much fun. And they made me feel like the idol-of-the-day, with cameras shooting non-stop - glam or unglam.

^_^ And there, here's the birthday post.

The biggest birthday present from my lovely 2-4 darlings is really the thought, the love and the joy they bring me...

Love you guys~~~~

I need a friend

This entry shouldn't exist here.

Or it shouldn't even exist.

It's 2.03am.

I Should be a role model and be good. Sleep early. Wake early. Think positively.

Wham! I'm beating the crap out of myself for God-knows-what reason now.

My ex-WWSS students used to tell me, "You are spending too much time with us."

It's a cycle, a rather vicious one. I've a social circle too small, so I spend much time with you guys. And because I spend much time with you guys, my social circle remains so small.

Somehow, people are disappearing from my life.

The only one I have been talking to has vanished into thin air of late.

Like...

*poof*

Gone.

No time to react. No chance to ask why.

I'm not asking for too much.

I need a real friend.

A real human that I can touch, can feel, can call out to, can share things with, can crack stupid jokes to, can spend nights talking about silly things together.

Dear Fairy Godmother, if you are there, please grant me a friend.

P/S: Birthdays make one me very emo. Lonely birthdays make one me superbly emo.

歌曲与我

你们都喜欢听歌吧?

我很喜欢。

因为歌曲的歌词常常道出我心中无从说起的情绪,感情。


今天,突然很想听好多好多歌曲。

每个人都有自己的主题曲,插曲,片尾曲。

当然,这些曲目都可能随时改变。连续剧的更新也有不同歌曲伴奏,人生的起起落落,人生的无常,人生的不同阶段都带着不同的滋味,不同的歌曲。

2-4班很喜欢唱歌。这点,我在去年的1-4就领教过了。

而且,这些小朋友还会哼挺老派的歌曲。厉害,厉害!

你们听过这首歌吗?



那英 - 白天不懂夜的黑

专辑:白天不懂夜的黑

词:黄桂兰 曲:林隆璇 编曲:CHRISBABIDA


我们之间没有延伸的关系
没有相互占有的权利
只在黎明混着夜色时
才有浅浅重叠的片刻
白天和黑夜只交替没交换
无法想像对方的世界
我们仍坚持各自等在原地
把彼此站成两个世界

你永远不懂我伤悲
像白天不懂夜的黑
像永恒燃烧的太阳
不懂那月亮的盈缺
你永远不懂我伤悲
像白天不懂夜的黑
不懂那星星为何会坠跌

白天和黑夜只交替没交换
无法想像对方的世界
我们仍坚持各自等在原地
把彼此站成两个世界

你永远不懂我伤悲
像白天不懂夜的黑
像永恒燃烧的太阳
不懂那月亮的盈缺
你永远不懂我伤悲
像白天不懂夜的黑
不懂那星星为何会坠跌

你永远不懂我伤悲
像白天不懂夜的黑
像永恒燃烧的太阳
不懂那月亮的盈缺
你永远不懂我伤悲
像白天不懂夜的黑
不懂那星星为何会坠跌
不懂我伤悲 就好像白天不懂夜的黑

介绍这首歌是因为:
1)修辞!老师刚刚教了“比喻”二字。瞧瞧,里头用白天、黑夜来比喻曲中男、女的感情。
2)老派嘛!虽然不够“老”啦。
3)我喜欢,符合我的心境

好啦,不忘楷量、峻纬的《雨中即景》(哗啦啦 啦啦 下雨了)[附上两歌版本!刘文正和王梦麟,嘿嘿……]





雨中即景
词/曲:王梦麟

哗啦啦 啦啦
下雨了 看到大家都在跑,
吧吧吧 吧吧
计程车它们的生意是特别好
(你有钱坐不到)
哗啦啦 啦啦
淋湿了 好多人脸上失去了笑
无奈何的望着天
叹叹气把头摆
感觉天色不对
最好把雨伞带好
不要等雨来了
见你又躲又跑
轰隆隆 隆隆 打雷了
胆小的人都不敢跑
(怕怕)
无奈何的望着天
叹叹气把头摆
哗啦啦 啦啦
下雨了 看到大家都在跑,
吧吧吧 吧吧
计程车它们的生意是特别好
(你有钱坐不到)
哗啦啦 啦啦
淋湿了 好多人脸上失去了笑
无奈何的望着天
叹叹气把头摆
感觉天色不对
最好把雨伞带好
不要等雨来了
见你又躲又跑
轰隆隆 隆隆 打雷了
胆小的人都不敢跑
(怕怕)
无奈何的望着天
叹叹气把头摆
感觉天色不对
最好把雨伞带好
不要等雨来了
见你又躲又跑
轰隆隆 隆隆 打雷了
胆小的人都不敢跑
(怕怕)
无奈何的望着天
叹叹气把头摆
叹叹气把头摆
叹叹气把头摆


哈哈,喜欢吧!真的是怀旧到不行!
